A.2 Heat Transfer and Radiation Exchange Basics for<br />

<strong>Thermography</strong><br />

This section is to provide the reader with an understanding <strong>of</strong> how heat<br />

transfer phenomena affect non-contact infrared thermal sensing and<br />

thermographic measurements. <strong>Infrared</strong> thermography depends on measuring<br />

the distribution <strong>of</strong> radiant thermal energy (heat) emitted from a target surface,<br />

thus, the thermographer requires an understanding <strong>of</strong> heat, temperature, and<br />

the various types <strong>of</strong> heat transfer as an essential prerequisite in preparing to<br />

undertake a program <strong>of</strong> IR thermography.<br />
